Daylight adorn her withering lifeforce
With a long lost river That mend all her woe in its flow May I redeem my funereal self In thy mirror of soul sanctorum To frame every night a delight Thou stalk the ground, the sea and the winds around To haunt me down profound when the night surrounds Thou stalk the Stygian stream and the riverine To haunt my hallowed fields and astrayal dreams I'm at sixes and sevens In the shade of thy heavens No moon, nor sun Meridian Prevail in my oblivion Come with me to seek the sun inside Meridian This time around we dance We're chosen ones Thou stalk as the unseen in visions undreamed To revel in the deep of life's malignity Thou stalk my manic mind yon it's horizon To draw that waning sun upon Meridian Thou art eternal darkness Thou art eternal heresy Thou art day and night Thou art the flame inside I'll make my misery thy saturnine 02. Sister Nightfall Music by Sirenia Lyrics by Morten Veland
[Child:] every time you come around
You divert my feelings, and bring me further down Would you like to be the serpentine whirls of the stream? Would you like to cope for all your dreams? Sister Nightfall controlling the lights in me Though it hurts it feels just like a dream Come down to linger in heresy And come down on me with all your serenity Shivers down the spine When she comes down the hall Thy effigy seems frail to be Or was it ever there at all? [Child:] every tear that runs adown Will merge and hurt now that winter's all around Would you like to wear the secrets of the seven seas? Would you like to be what you can't be? Sister Nightfall controlling the lights in me Though it hurts it feels just like a dream Come down to linger in the undreamed And come down on me to cope for what should have been Give in on tonight All heavens on their fall We failed to find that soul divine Enshrined within us all She sets her sails for another sea There's more to life than your eyes reveal Upon its scenery... Sister Nightfall controlling the lights in me Though it hurts it feels just like a dream Sister I call out in vain for thee Though I hurt you, won't you set me free? 03. On The Wane Music by Sirenia Lyrics by Morten Veland
Do you live a lie?
Are you lost in life? On the wane tonight Like every night Do you live a lie? Would you like to try? In this world of vainly missions I'm a god of superstition Would you grant me a savage prison? Within the walls of your decisions If you hurt me I won't recover Don't you turn me down We are all living a lie Would you like to try? In these halls of time We are all giving In for another day We shall pass away On the break of day We're lost anyway Do you live a lie? Do you stand me by? Would you cope for my existence? Would you last or cease persistence? I'm the moon and the seventh dreamer you're the hewn and a lost redeemer Heavenworks for a welkin at dusk you're a frail outcast "Recall the fragments of a broken life Just like a shattered soul divine You are the treason-reflecting eyes You are the darkness that sets in every light" 04. In A Manica Music by Sirenia Lyrics by Morten Veland
How can you stand there
Like a weakening fire Awaiting the final end? If you consider Still hanging in there You will wither In each and in every way How can you stand it? Say can you mend it? Don't you pretend that The world is a better place? If you're in denial Life is worth while You can rely on There's comfort in exit ways In a manica the reaper comes around And the winds they sweep my manic funereal ground Some deranged and some devour To haunt me down in my darkest hour Yet another mind of the Devil's design When we gather our frail souls beyond our persistence When we cope for our lives with fantasy When we cover our eyes and mourn our loss of existence When we falter, deprived and out of dreams Do you see there are times? To read in the lines? And trust me you will find The things that you know Will hurt you so You can't deny that anymore, You can deny that no more! 05. At Sixes And Sevens Music by Sirenia Lyrics by Morten Veland
In times of strife
You seem to lose it all, and more somehow No waning life can retrieve it Can't make the world a better place to thrive Nor can I keep on persisting You're on the wane in funereal winds With a thousand winters within You're life unveil its weary eyes Sun sets in somber skies Your waning desires brought to fire Where your withering life has been mourned For a thousand years, where the pain blend with ire And the night enflames us both "Walk down the narrow path Years of decay Feel life's soul-inflicting hurt once again" You're dying now You make it feel somewhat divine Your lenient eyes are somewhat healing You make it feel the less a strife now A precious life cease persisting You're on the wane and eden's hewn Falter still under a funereal moon Your tears they sweep upon life's shore Until the day you weep no more Sunset's on the wane In life we suffer the same When sundown comes around Stalking strangers on hollowed ground Endarkened souls entwined Together at the end of life Embrace the new divine Or suffer another lifetime I can feel the flames The fire lick me in vain My life can't be regained Not now, nor then, nor ever again We cross our feeble hearts The day our souls depart Life move in strangest ways We died somewhat, somehow in every day 06. Lethargica Music by Sirenia Lyrics by Morten Veland
Lethargic sleepers they close their eyes
Diverted dreamers unfolding their lives Sleep now sister enfold your fall You can't take the exile anymore And like all the others, you're lost tonight Would you dance entranced in waning fields? And to falter on through life's mortality Would you veil your woebegone eyes? To conceal these wounds that I consider mine Wither like in autumn Waning yon the veil You concede the pain is nonpareil Wither like in your life Waning like your days I concede your pain is nonpareil Lethargic sleeper - devote your life Diverted dreamer - give in on tonight Wake now sister for times to come In a run towards the pantheon And like all the others, you're lost in life Would you swirl your world into a sea? Far beyond the hurt of life's malignity Would you cope for the loss in your life? And to cede the night that sets within your eyes Cover your eyes to mend the hurt inside You wither in life like autumn leaves Infidel divine, you are the reason why I choose this way To cease my life, you are the treason in us all 07. Manic Aeon Music by Sirenia Lyrics by Morten Veland
[Stranger:] come inside
Read my epitaph, deranged am I? [Estranged one:] haunting me Be my lover, I prithee Prophecies of death outside Take the moonshine for a ride Haunting faces and staring eyes Bring my mania into life Little stranger come inside Lay to rest what you still writhe We made a life of it somehow Seems like we've lost it now See you dance away All this bitter pain See you move in ways Beyond our days In devotion I linger And with drained veins I falter again See you pass away in another day Hear you call my name Yon another veil In devotion I've lingered In this world I've belonged For far too long [Strangers:] haunt me down Stalking faces all around This strange voice at my door Cede my reason like before Propechies of death inside Cede your words they cut like knives Somber wind that sweeps within This manic aeon is bound to be Little stranger stand me by If you prevail, then so can I Lay to rest the hurt you stand Only through death we'll mend 08. A Shadow Of Your Own Self Music by Sirenia Lyrics by Morten Veland
Tell me now you sinner
You run for a better world Tell me why you'd leave her Despite all the hurt Don't deny that you once tried to mend The circumstances now out of hand And don't deny your life's a living hell You're a shadow of your own self Tell me now you sinner Still lost in your secret world Tell me now you've seen her You know how she hurts Don't deny that you will understand The circumstances of pain at hand And don't assert that we will both survive 'Cause I can't take more of life Stretch your arms out for the fire For another dark desire In the fields you burn with loss again As you dream your life away Say: would you never walk away On the break of a coming day Would you end this line with me Would you like to waste away what we've ever been? Would you like to come along with me? Would you like to lay to rest our insanity? Would you like to cope for the unreal? 09. In Sumerian Haze Music by Sirenia Lyrics by Morten Veland
In sumerian haze you search for another day
Guess another vail left you this way Thoughts on a line where I leave it all behind Nothing can mend the hurt inside Sweetened horizons Dance away the pain tonight Just like you and I Profoundly deranged you go through another day I guess it was meant to be this way Thoughts on a line won't recover your mind You cut your veins, like I've cut mine Sweetened horizons Dance away the pain tonight Just like you and I |
